Zero Talent. Infinite Potential.Xie Mingzhi was born with a "trash" constitution—a body that leaks Qi like a sieve. In a world where your vessel determines your destiny, he is a joke to the wealthy and a heartbreak to his family.But destiny is not written in stone; it is engineered.Armed with a mind that sees cultivation as an engineering puzzle, Mingzhi begins to build a system the world was never meant to see. He will scavenge the trash of the elites. He will burrow beneath the roots of the powerful. He will stay in the shadows... until the engine is complete.
